Vin Scully Forum

Not taking anything away from Mr. Scully, and not saying he couldn't be considered the GOAT, but Jack Buck was pretty darn great also.

No doubt he's up there. Al Michaels, Keith Jackson, there are a few others as well who are/were among the greatest. Sadly, I don't know of any younger announcers who will be held in the same regard, as it seems something is 'missing' with the voice, cadence, and knoweldge of today's announcers. Perhaps only time will answer that.

In some cases, iconic sports moments have as much or more to do with who announces it (and what they say) than the actual act itself. Scully called some great ones.

Correct, announcers today just aren't the same. Matt Vasgersian in my opinion is the best current announcer. 

In LA we were fortunate to have Vin doing baseball for the Dodgers for 66 years [1950-2016], and Chick Hearn [1957-2002] for the Lakers, for over 40 years each. 

And for that matter matter, Dick Enberg for 10+ years doing the Angels, Rams and UCLA Bruins [66-77 +/-] was damn good, IMO, maybe no Scully / Hearn GOAT status, but damn sweet voice for the radio, before he moved on to CBS / NBC / ESPN [1975-2011]

And ...  I'm not a hockey guy, but Bob Miller had a long run of 30+ years with the Kings, and people say he was great.

And ... Ralph Lawler had a 30 year run for Clipper Nation [1987-2019]
